Donor Toolkit

Looking for a way to support your favorite nonprofit participating in the GoodGiving Challenge? Set up a peer-to-peer fundraising page! Your P2P fundraising page on BGgives.org is a fundraiser where all funds raised go directly to the nonprofit you selected. 

• Find a Participating Nonprofit
• How to Build a Charitable Fundraising Page

Head to Search to find a participating nonprofit. Use the “Filters” to narrow in on a nonprofit you would like to support. From the “Find a Cause” menu you can browse organizations and other peer-to-peer fundraisers. “Location” will help you find nonprofits closest to you. “Categories” will bring up organizations that fit certain mission areas.

Interested in supporting multiple nonprofits? Fill a cart!

Add donations to multiple nonprofits to your “cart” and check out in one transaction.

MAKE YOUR DONATION

To make a donation, click “Donate,” search for the charity you want to support, then click “donate” to enter the appropriate donation information. 

Within the donate form, you can select your donation amount, choose to give anonymously, or add a dedication.

It’s now even easier for Blue Grass Community Foundation Fundholders to donate directly from their fund by using the BGgives.org website! Here's how it works: 

1. Visit BGgives.org.

2. Search for the participating organizations you want to support, select the amount you want to donate and add the gift to your cart. Either proceed to checkout or add more donations to your cart.

3. At checkout, in the Payment Method dropdown menu, select “Donor Advised Fund” and type in the name of your BGCF DAF.

4. DAF donations do not assess any fees, so uncheck the box “Cover Fees: Would you like to increase your donation by 5.2% to help offset the fees of processing your gift?” 

5. After clicking Complete Donation, you will be shown a confirmation page and will receive an email confirmation that the DAF donation has been received and is under review.

6. Once your DAF submission has been reviewed and BGCF confirms that the DAF has sufficient funds for the requested donations, you will receive a confirmation email.  If your DAF has insufficient funds and the transaction cannot be approved, a representative from BGCF will reach out to you.

7. Once the DAF donation is approved by BGCF, the nonprofit will be notified and the donation will appear within the nonprofit’s donation list and the donation total will be added to the nonprofit’s total.

PLEASE NOTE THAT DAF DONATIONS TO THE GOODGIVING CHALLENGE WILL NO LONGER BE PROCESSED BY EMAILING A REQUEST TO BGCF STAFF.  ALL DONATIONS MUST BE MADE THROUGH THE BGGIVES.ORG WEBSITE.
